When I travel alone, I tend to avoid B&B's. They can be painful reminders that others are on holiday with their sweethearts. However, I initially chose to stay at Dingle's First Cottage by the Sea because it is close to Dingle's legendary shops, pubs, and music venues. Plus, the parking looked easier for me to master than in other places... More

Julie and Joe are both extremely professional and very kind and likable human beings. They are normal people that understand that your time in Dingle is valuable, and are very interested in making sure that you make the best use of that time. The inn has a perfect location, but at the end of the day it is the professionalism... More

We were thinking to spend just one night in Dingle, but ended up staying for the better part of the week, partly because of the First Cottage. Relaxed, incredibly friendly, and with great breakfasts, it's the perfect place to stay. All rooms are clean and comfortable, and the ones facing the bay have beautiful views. We would recommend anyone looking... More

We spent two nights at this B&B in Dingle. It's a five minute walk to town and some of the rooms face the water. It's small and cozy, with internet, TV, and very clean rooms. But what makes this a special place is Julie (and Joe, when he is not out fighting fires). Julie welcomes you into her home and... More

Wow! My sister and I just got back from a week-and-a-half tour of southern Ireland, stayed in a different B&B every night. By far, Julie and Joe's place was the best! Both of them were truly friendly and gregarious. All our hosts were gracious, but the Lynch's were the only ones where it seemed that they were privileged to have... More

Dingles First Cottage by the Sea was more than I ever expected. Juli and Joe were the ultimate hosts. We arrived late in the late afternoon and were greeted with a note on the door. The family had to go do some shopping so we were left with instructions to get the key to our room. After parking in the... More

We decided to wait until we got into town to secure a place to stay. SOOOO glad we did. We really enjoyed staying at Juli and Joe's place. What a sweet couple. Our stay with them was everything we had hoped for during our time in Dingle. We had a nice room overlooking the harbor. They stuffed us with a... More

We first stayed at First Cottage six years ago on our first visit to Dingle Peninusula. At that time we fell in love with Julie and Joe and their family. So when we decided to return to Ireland this year, our first thought was that we wanted to visit them again. And it was as lovely as before. First the... More

I have to say that this our favorite part of Ireland - everything about the Dingle area is amazing. Juli and Joe are excellent hosts and we felt as if we were part of the family. The accommodations, food, advice, directions, history lesson, location are just perfect - we miss it already and want to plan another trip to Ireland... More

This is a beautiful family who welcomes you into their home with true Irish hospitality (authentic and overflowing) to make your visit to Dingle and the Dingle peninsula extra special. The home itself is configured perfectly as a B&B and the rooms are extremely comfortable and extremely clean. The room we stayed in looked onto Dingle Harbour and we enjoyed... More
